I took the toll road to the Visitors' Center at the top - the cost now is $24.
It was pouring rain and the fog was thick but I was having so much fun I kept going.
I had made it past both Lips until I heard what I thought was thunder.
I immediately turned around and headed back. The green Mountain Rangers at the
Visitors' Center asked me if I'd made it. I said no, since I thought I heard thunder.
They said it was probably the nearby artillery range.
Well, I'll keep that in mind for next time. I got some great shots, though,
and any trip where I get a good shot I don't consider wasted. I'll keep the
artillery in mind for next time.
